SHORES & ISLANDS OHIO

Shores & Islands Ohio is not just a place…it’s a feeling. It’s the memories people have from unforgettable experiences here that live in their hearts for a lifetime. Boundless adventures and discoveries await. Shores & Islands Ohio embodies the excitement felt from the very first time you visit, to becoming a seasoned regular or a part of the community. It’s where you find your Lake Erie Love. We are proud to be a Shores & Islands partner!

FIRST TO TRAVEL

We’ve been asked time and time again for the next best place to explore after enjoying some time on the farm. We’ve partnered up with First to Travel (and some of the best area small businesses) to create the “Quarry Hill Orchards Recommends” resource to help guide your continued five start experience along your journey to (and from) the farm.

After 15 years of living on Lake Erie, Chris and Julie First (creators of First to Travel) decided to hit the open road and explore the unique travel opportunities on and around the Great Lakes. Even better, they’ve filmed their experiences to share with you and have created a curated travel guide for each of the 8 regions along The Great Lakes. You’ll love their choices….we’re partial to this video in particular:

ERIE METROPARKS

We are fortunate enough to share a property boundary with approximately 1,300 acres of sandstone cliffs, wetlands, woodlands, and meadows that were dedicated in a conservation purchase a number of years ago. Managed by the Erie MetroParks, the Edison Woods Preserve is home to a variety of seasonal wildflowers, rare plants, amphibians and reptiles.

The park includes approximately 550 acres of wetland habitats and 400 acres of restored native grasslands. Features include 6 miles of wooded and prairie trails, the Adventure Walkway boardwalk and Geocashing.

We encourage all hikers, birders, runners, horseback riders, letterboxers, Geocashers, and all outdoor enthusiasts to take advantage of this beautiful park as part of your experience here at Quarry Hill. Orchard staff can provide you with trail maps, and an escort to the trailhead can be provided. This is an absolute perfect activity for a family outing to see the leaves changing colors in the fall – it’s breathtaking!
